The radiated areas will continue to 'cook' for at least another 4 weeks after Rads stops, so very important to continue with the creams/lotions/potions .... you can actually 'feel the heat' if you place your hand on those areas that were treated.
I was advised by the hospital pharmacist to use a cream like BOZ (Contains Boric Acid 0.25%, Zinc Oxide 7.5%, Olive Oil 25%.) It is quite greasy - so I used a damp blue 'kitchen cloth' between the ointment & my clothes.
I only had minor peeling & 'sunburn' .... and my skin came back 100% good.
take care & all the best xx
